Our Classes
Combination Class
An introductory program to enhance rhythm, skills, coordination, musicality, and a love for dance. The combination class offers Tap, pre-ballet, and beginning jazz. In ballet, they will work towards strength and flexibility while learning basic ballet terminology. Tap teaches rhythm and musicality, while beginning jazz encompasses isolations of the body, core development, and progressions toward a new movement style.
Ballet/Pointe'
Ballet stresses correct placement, body alignment, and awareness of classical Ballet technique. Dancers will be taught Ballet terminology, anatomy, and how to apply it to their dancing. Pointe classes are for advanced ballet students, and they must receive an invitation from their ballet instructor. Careful consideration is made before allowing students to dance en pointe. Factors include age, years of ballet training, hours taken per week, strength of ankles and legs, and proper use of technique in flat work. Students placed en pointe prematurely can suffer from damage to growing bones in the feet, other types of injury, and the development of poor technical habits in ballet.
Hip Hop
Hip Hop classes teach the fun, upbeat dance style that utilizes body isolations, core control, and current dance movements to express emotion through age-appropriate popular music. Hip Hop classes are for both recreational and competitive dancers.
Lyrical
Lyrical dance is a mixture of ballet, jazz, and modern techniques and is an emotion-based movement style that often focuses on the lyrics of a song in choreography.
Jazz
An upbeat dance form derived from ballet that incorporates stretching, body isolations, leaps, and turns. Jazz is a great class for increasing flexibility and building memory skills.
Pom Pon
A style seen performed by high school dance teams. Pom is a class designed to introduce dancers to the proper jazz dance technique, including the sharp, synchronized movements and visual effects of working with pom pons. We will create fun, energized pom routines.
Acro
This class is geared specifically for dancers to increase strength and flexibility in their acrobatic movement. This class covers basic acrobatic skills, systematically working towards more advanced skills. This class is for both recreational and competitive students.
Stretch and Strength/Leaps and Turns
These classes focus on the body's center, from which all movements begin and end, making it possible to maintain balance while executing high extensions and graceful, powerful movements. Correct spotting enables dancers to improve and maintain balance and control while executing turns. These classes work to increase flexibility and strength for all students.
